The Ayodhya International airport project in temple town has been put on fast track by the state government with the Ram Manohar Lohia Awadh University approving a proposal to hand over its 3900-hectare land for the mega project.
Around 30 buildings located on this land, including vice chancellor Ravi Shanker Singh’s official residence, will also be handed over to the Union civil aviation ministry for the airport which is officially known as Maryada Purushottam Shriram International Airport.
Last week, executive council of the university approved a proposal of the state high education department to hand over the said land free of cost. The university also passed a proposal seeking ₹21.02 crore for infrastructure from the state government.
